re: Former Tiger FB player in Mobile explains

Brian Ware, tiger player from the early 2000's ??? (under Saban) was on sports radio in Mobile today. He knows both Saban and LSU. Said only QBs to beat Saban since the Utah loss in the Sugar Bowl has been Tebow, Cam, Jefferson, and Garcia.....all decent running QBs....said CLM knew that was his only chance, especially after what happened to JL Nov 5. Said everyone knows Lee can't take the pressure. Also said T-Bob got blown up every play Nov 5, so he was not in the game. Said we needed to stretch field and those adjustments were made at half, but JJ couldn't execute and/or line could not hold up. Another adjustment was our FB was split wide in the slot (instead of Sheppard) to confuse Tide D (didn't work). And finally, he indicated that Bama's Defensive calls were all sent from sideline based on our formation....and when we went hurry up, they could not adjust....but we only used it for a few plays (which we did gain a few yards). He was very insightful and in many ways defended CLM....but acknowledged Bama's great D. Our plan was to stop Richardson and make McCarron beat us....he did!

You are missing the point. This is fine. Start JJ.

The point is two-fold.

1) The game plan had no imagination and no flexibility. There was no plan B.
2) Lee should have played in the second half. JJ could start as Brian Ware inferred, but once JJ was a lost boy in a mans world, Lee should have been played.

Brian Ware does not address these two main points.
